About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

I could hardly hear his voice: is it so soft or something wrong with my laptop speaker? But other speakers' voices are just fine.

Hi.
I want to start learning information communication technology from scratch, please assist me or add me in your online classes. I'm from South Africa and I very much interested in this.

The science does not back up the claim that technology is making kids smarter. In fact, many parents, teachers, and neuroscientists are seriously questioning such claims.

Correct! I am happy to see that tere are still some people who are not delusional. It has already been proven and documented that very early exposure to tehnology like phones and ipads(before age 3) , just like TV causes a lot of interferance in children's brain development and casues cognitive problems later on. Kids still need to have a well developed brain to handle the technology and education. Tehnology itsef can't do the job.
